There's a chance for snow, too

And with this cool down comes the chance for snow. The weather service says forecast models indicate there's a chance for accumulating snow the middle of next week, but there's still too much uncertainty on how much we're going to get and when, so stay tuned.

Meteorological winter (December through February) typically marks the coldest 90 days of the year in the Northern Hemisphere, meteorologist Paul Douglas wrote on the Star Tribune's weather blog. He's predicting that by the second week of December it'll look a lot like winter, noting the average snow fall for December in Minneapolis is 11.9 inches.
